Supreme Court of Connecticut
State of Connecticut v. Victor O.
June 7, 2011301 Conn. 163
Summary
The court affirmed the defendant's convictions and rejected his evidentiary, confrontation, prosecutorial-impropriety, and fair-trial claims. It held that the trial court properly excluded the Abel test results and evidence concerning the mother's website use, properly allowed limited testimony about forensic interviews after the defense opened the door, and did not err in permitting an isolated reference to C as the victim. The court reversed only the sentence for first-degree sexual assault because the statute required special parole rather than probation, and remanded for resentencing on that count.
